Murals have always been powerful tools to educate and inspire community members in our society. The “Encouraging the Imagination” Mural Project will inspire local residents, especially our kids, to expand our imaginations with the help of the power of nature and community.
Urban Tilth invites Richmond Greenway Residents to help design this NEW community mural this February and March with the goal of installing it for Earth Day 2022!
The “Encouraging the Imagination” Mural Project is a project of Urban Tilth in partnership with the Richmond Arts & Culture, and the City of Richmond Parks and Landscaping Division. We need your input to create a new mural located in the Unity Park Ohio Ave & S 16th street Richmond, CA 94804.
Be ready to share your Mural input, ideas and thoughts in our 4 community sessions designs:
